My wife and I with my 82 year old mother in a photograph taken in May 2006

My son visits the Tomb of Confucius
My son visited the tomb of Confucius in Qufu, Shandong
Province. Confucius was China's great educator 2,500
years ago and was a pioneer of Chinese culture. The
tomb was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. It
was renovated after the Cultural Revolution.

This photo was taken at the 100th birthday party of Madam Chen Jing, mother of Professor Liu Xujie who is a close friend of mine.

Mr. Liu Dunzhen, husband of Madam Chen, was China's most famous expert on ancient architecture. He died of persecution during the Cultural Revolution. Madam Chen herself graduated from Hunan University. She was a classmate of Yang Kaihui, Mao Zedong's wife. Madam Chen is a devout Christian and is still very healthy at such an age.

I'm on the right of the photo. On the left is my good friend, the grandson of Qian Baocong. Qian is one of
the best mathematics historians and studied in England in his early years. Qian excelled in the study of
mathematics and astrology. Qian and Liu were good friends and both contributed enormously to China's
scientific development. Qian also died during the Cultural Revolution.

Here some images from my mother's 80 years birthday in June 2004. We had a lovely banquet and all our family arrived to wish her a long and happy life.
